Rapper Ye kicked out of Skechers' HQ in California

MANHATTAN BEACH, California: The rapper formerly known as Kanye West was escorted out of the California-based headquarters of athletic shoemaker Skechers after he showed up unannounced on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), a day after Adidas ended its partnership with the artist following his antisemitic remarks.

The Grammy winner, who legally changed his name to Ye, 'arrived unannounced and without invitation' at Skechers' corporate headquarters in Manhattan Beach, southwest of Los Angeles, the company said.
